1.28× labor vs straight18% wastePrimary 16″ O.C. + sub-joist sleepers at 12″ O.C. across

Best for

Premium builds, decks visible from upper floors, owners wanting a single dramatic design choice. Pairs especially well with two-tone composite.

Watch-outs

Doubled framing labor + complex install pattern + 18% waste means total cost is typically 35-45% above straight. Not DIY-friendly without prior carpentry experience.
